eZ Studio vs. eZ Platform

eZ Studio is a distribution flavour of eZ Platform, the next generation CMS which uses the same Symfony based kernel as eZ Platform (formerly known also as eZ Publish 6). In short eZ Studio comes with new features and services that extend eZ Platform functionality for media industry, and team collaboration.

Abstract:

Very extensible You can extend the application and the content model in many ways
Future & backwards compatible Strong BC policy on data as well as code
Multi channel by design Strong focus on separation between ^semantic content & design
Scalable Easily scale across multiple servers out of the box
Future proof Architecture designed to allow even more content scalability and performance in the future
Stable Built on experience in customizing and extending the highly flexible CMS solutions since early 2000, and in production since 2014
Integration friendly Numerous events and signals to hook into for advanced workflow needs

Main packages:

ezpublish-kernel (building on top of Symfony Framework):
Content Repository with a highly flexible content model exposed via a Public API.
Out of the box powered by SQL Storage Engine using Doctrine DBAL, data cache implementation using Stash and binary file system handled by Flysystem. Improved Storage Engine planned, custom implementation for increased data scalability already possible.
Powerful (& extensible) Content Query engine, currently powered by SQL, soon Solr/ElasticSearch
Very high performance thanks to content & user aware HTTP ^"view" cache (now using)
Introduces concept of "web sites" allowing you to manage several within one installation
Allows to rapidly set up Contextual override of content display twig templates as well as controller based on Content type, section, and much more.
Helpers, services, events and signals allowing you to efficiently create everything from simple web sites to complex applications
PlatformUIBundle: A modern, extensible "backend" UI for managing content & administering the site

Backwards compatibility

eZ Platform aiming to be 100% content compatible with eZ Publish 5.x, 4.x and 3.x (introduced in 2002), meaning that content in those versions of the CMS can be upgraded using online documentation to eZ Platform.

Unlike eZ Publish Platform 5.x, eZ Studio does not ship with eZ Publish Legacy (4.x). For Platform kernel use combined with legacy, eZ Publish Platform 5.4 is the most stable choice, offering support and maintenance updates until 2021. Alternative is releases of eZ Publish Community, latest as of Oct 2015 is v2014.11 found at ezpublish-community.
